Yesterday my sister, mum and I decided to book tickets to go to London and see the wedding dress 1775-2014 collection at the V&A museum. It was so fascinating to see how the shapes and material of each dress changed and how the vintage style has crept it's way back into modern day style. It was also extremely interesting to see how the dress designers coped with making dresses in times where there was a world crisis going on so limited funds. For example during WW2 a dress was made from upholstery material as it was the only material not rationed and yet made to still look so beautiful.
After looking at the dress collection (Kate Moss' dress by John Galliano being my fave, above) we moved onto look at the theatre costume exhibition, it is unbelievable how much work went into making these look so gorgeous! - although I'm sure some wouldn't have been too comfy to wear!
I dressed to be comfy as I knew we would have a lot of walking to do- Que the flat pointy boots and black Joni jeans which seem to be my go to at the moment! I went for layering two jackets as well to protect me from the cold, with the option of removing one if it got to hot! My bag I bought a few days ago, picking it up in a charity for only £5 - Bargain aye!
I forgot to charge my camera so couldn't take photos while there and my phone quality isn't as good, lucky I took some before!!
